	The symbols of the four fixed signs are holding the four quarters of the card. The four fixed principles are indeed generally accepted as the basis of the material or concrete world.

'''The Wheel of Fortune''' is the tenth card in the [[Major Arcana]] in most traditional [[Tarot]] decks.

==Depiction==
In nearly all Tarot decks, this card is depicted as a large wheel with people traveling around it.

In the [[Rider-Waite Tarot]], artist [[Pamela Colman Smith]] does not use the traditional wheel and instead replaced it with a circular sigil around which mythical creatures are in motion.

==Symbolism==
The wheel has seven radii standing for the perpetual motion of a fluidic universe and for the flux of human life. Behind the general notion expressed in the symbol there lies the denial of chance and the fatality which is implied therein. The transliteration of "Taro" as "Rota" is inscribed on the wheel, counterchanged with the letters of the Divine Name—to show that Providence is present through all. But this is the Divine intention within, and the similar intention without is exemplified by the four Living Creatures.

At the summit was another monster with the body of an indeterminate beast, wings on shoulders and a crown on head. It carried two wands in its claws. These are replaced in the reconstruction by a Hermanubis ([[Hermes]] and [[Anubis]] combined as one, the genius of good) ascending with the wheel, a Sphinx at the summit is the equilibrium of the wheel balancing good and evil with the sword in its lion claws, and Typhon (the Greek god of all the monsters, the genius of evil) in his serpent form is descending with the wheel.

See the right hand as the East and the left hand as the West, and you have the illustration of the horoscope more accurately still. As we know the East is standing for the source of spiritual force and inspiration, the West for the end of it and dying out.

==Divinatory meaning==
In [[divination]], this card usually indicates destiny, fortune, success, elevation, and luck.

In reversed position, it means: Increase, abundance, an overly large amount.
